When I set out to scale down my original crustless quiche recipe into a single serving version, I discovered that 2 eggs and 3 tablespoons of cream provided the perfect “base” for a quiche and will yield a creamy and delicious custard every time.

Crustless Mini Quiche
This mini quiche is a wonderful size if you’re cooking for one. I use a 5-inch x 5-inch baking dish which holds about 2 cups and has an area of 25-inches. A 4-inch by 6-inch dish will work well as would most 5 to 6-inch diameter pans.
It’s wonderful to not have to bother with making a crust. I save so much time by eliminating the pastry step. If you would like to add a crust to this quiche recipe, I recommend using a frozen, or pre-made pie crust and cutting it to fit the dish.

How To Make A Spinach Crustless Quiche
- Make the quiche “base” by whisking together the eggs and cream.
- After you’ve got the eggs and cream blended, prepare the fillings. For this spinach quiche, sauté onions and garlic in a little olive oil, then add in cubes of salty ham and a handful of spinach.
- Once the spinach begins to wilt, pour it into the egg/cream mixture and stir in shredded Swiss cheese.
- Bake the quiche in a 5-inch baking dish. I find this baking dish to be the perfect size for anyone cooking for one. The quiche bakes in the oven for a quick 25 minutes.
